I saw it at Best Buy today, is that the one that comes in a cloth package and is where you control the strategics of the SW Empire or Rebel Alliance?
I was thinking of snagging it, but I want to see if it is worth it. Also, do I need to make space on my desk for my joystick?
I think the cloth one is actually a T-shirt. Mine came in a cardbox sleeve-over plastic kind of case, but they had a cloth one too, that I thought was a t-shirt. Ask before you buy.
Also, no joystick. It's 100% mouse. It's basically like command & conquer in the Star Wars Universe. You send a space fleet to a planet and if the enemy has a fleet there (or a space station) you fight it. If you win you can land ground troops (note: the rebel player can slip up to 4 ground troops onto a planet through stealth, no battle necessary).
Once on the ground, you fight again.
